It’s wild to say but Asensio might be the best pure finisher since Cristiano injuries and playing out of position certainly caused some consistency issues the last couple of years but when he’s healthy like he’s been he’s absurdly productive given his minutes
absolutely love him there’s currently a ton of great young talent and you can make a case for several guys as “the best” but I’m not sure any of them are as versatile
nervous that the midfield is going to get totally overrun today. No Militao is awful because backline is gonna have to play out of their minds and Kroos as the deepest MF means the front three are gonna have to drop back and then counter their asses off
fuck yes it was always going to take a moment of brilliance like that and it was needed after wasting the very few chances they've been given
nowhere near me because outside of CHI the Midwest fucking sucks and apparently the powers that be know it but hopefully more manageable for someone here
monumental challenge today and probably the toughest since they had to go to Munich in the 2nd leg of the ‘14 semis They’re clear underdogs today and while I don’t expect them to advance they did embarrass Bayern 4-0 that day so stranger things have happened
No Rudiger even after he was outstanding in the first leg. Would have loved to see Alaba at LB and Camavinga back in the midfield. Gonna need a special performance from the front 3 so hopefully Karim doesn’t no-show again
Bellingham or not empty the fucking coffers for world class LB this summer so Camavinga can go back to the 8
Knocked out of Europa by United and your dynasty was built on buying off refs and financial doping Just saying
Lol what? Why are you even in here caping for Madrid? Sorry y’all are going home empty handed. I do tend to pull for your team for all things EPL, given your teams fetishism for pilfering Barça youth. I do miss the simpler times of clowning on Arsenal in knock-outs, and Cesc injuring himself on PKs. I’d like to return to those times.
I’m in a rival thread making an obviously stupid joke (that also pertains to a culer coach finally knocking them out of the Champions League). The posters ITT have literally everything at their disposal to make fun of and counter my said stupid joke because they, sadly, lord over us in all titles. I’m well aware that Barcelona are in a world of disarray. What would you like my response to you to be? Yay Arsenal?
I absolutely want no consolation prize for Arsenal besides saying we had a great season and finished 2nd City just destroyed Bayern and Real, they’re the best side in the world by a mile Maybe Barca should try and sign maybe the best mid in the world before a washed up Messi
I’d rather everyone on the team be sold if that’s what it takes to facilitate a proper send off for Messi. Keep Araujo, Pedri, and Gavi. If we can keep Ter Stegen, that would be ideal. Fill the rest in with La Masia players, as it remains brimming with talent, and let it rip. Basically I should be up for election.
Yeah it’s not great. But I work within the confines of what is afforded. (I’m team Espanyol fans were correct to storm the pitch, btw).
god I hope there’s more than just another hollow “we condemn racism and we’re going to court” statement please
